This standard provides general requirements and methods for qualifying electric cables, and splices for nuclear facilities. Cable, wire, and splices within or integral to other devices (e.g., instruments, panels, motors) should be qualified using the requirements in the applicable device standard or IEEE Std 323(TM)-2003. However, this standard's requirements may be applied to the cable, wire, and splices within these devices. For qualification of fiber optic cable, refer to IEEE Std 1682(TM). The purpose of this standard is to provide standard methodology for the implementation of IEEE Std 323-2003 as it pertains to the qualification of electrical cables and splices. Revision Standard - Superseded. General requirements and methods for qualifying electric cables and splices for nuclear facilities are provided. Cable, wire, and splices within or integral to other devices (e.g., instruments, panels, motors) should be qualified using the requirements in the applicable device standard or IEEE Std 323(TM). However, this standard's requirements may be applied to the cable, wire and splices within these devices. For qualification of fiber optic cable, refer to IEEE Std 1682(TM).
